Technical description: Parameter limits

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal memory experiences a software glitch or a physical failure of the electronic circuits. It means the control board can no longer verify its own safety settings, so it shuts down the system to prevent any dangerous operation. The most common cause is a failing Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that has lost its stored configuration data.

Typical repair cost £100-350 (including labour)
